As the friends kept telling him how good he was at freestyles, Chris gave it a try and made a demo. At that time, rapping was no more than just a hobby for the young man.
As Chris made friends with the other guys outside he named himself B.I.G. Christopher’s mother worked hard day and night to support her son and protect him from the mean streets, but this was not enough. He studied together with Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z. The father left the family when Chris was just eighteen months and this fact made him never think anything good about the old man.
Christopher Wallace was born on May 21, 1972, in Brooklyn, New York.
